I look at the two men in Weber's example…. Information about the past of the two men that would be essential might be that the first has embarked on the demonstration of a point in science and that the second has been employed as a woodchopper. Information about the future of the two men that would be essential might be that the scientist regards this particular equation as relevant to his demonstration and that the employer is going to pay for this particular bit of wood-chopping. Knowledge of the two men's past is necessary if I am to find an intelligible meaning-context into which I can fit their acts. Knowledge of the two men's future is essential if I am to determine whether their acts in the subjective meaning which those acts have for them fit into the meaning-context I have already mentioned.

(Schütz 1974: 37/27f)
